Product Overview

The FORJADO MT-60 is a galvanized composite floor decking system with a useful width of 820 mm. It is designed for collaborative use in reinforced concrete slabs, developed in cooperation with the Structures Group of the Continuous Media Department at the School of Engineering in Seville and AICIA (Andalusian Industrial Research and Cooperation Association).

Technical Specifications

• Material Finish: Galvanized
• Useful Width: 820 mm
• Available Thicknesses: 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm

Design and Compliance

The MT-60 has been experimentally tested according to Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 4 standards, which are mandatory across Europe. The published tables provide allowable static overload values and reinforcement sections for negative bending moments at intermediate supports.

Characteristic parameters "m" and "k" derived from slab failure tests define the reference line for the MT-60 decking, which relates allowable overload to sheet thickness and slab depth. These values have been verified through mandatory compliance tests as per Eurocode 4 testing modalities.

Mechanical Properties

Static Load Tables for Normal Concrete (3 Supports)

The document provides detailed static overload capacities (in daN/m²) for the MT-60 system with thicknesses of 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.2 mm. These values vary depending on slab depth (H, in cm) and span length (Luz, in meters). The tables are intended for design use under normal concrete conditions with three supports.

Key parameters:

• Slab depths range from 10 cm to 25 cm.
• Span lengths range from 2 m to 5 m.
• Allowable static overload decreases with increasing span and increases with slab depth and thickness.
• Point load restrictions specify placing a single point load at the center of the span with a maximum deflection limit of L/250.

Usage Recommendations and Limitations

• The MT-60 system must be used in accordance with Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 4 standards.
• Point loads should be centrally located with deflection limited to L/250 to ensure structural integrity.
• Thickness selection should consider the required load capacity and span length.
